How do I wire a 220v ballast when it has only 1 wire labeled 220 when I have 2 wires coming off of my double leg breaker?

Your ballast should show two wires for supply side of ballast. Make sure that neither side of this is grounded to the light and connect the 220 V from your breaker to these two wires and then connect a ground to the chassis of the light from the panel.

How do you repair a fluorescent light located under a kitchen cabinet?

Unless there is something special about this fixture, it will be cheaper to replace the entire fixture. However if you choose to repair it, the ballast is the most likely reason for its failure. Turn off the power,remove tubes and then the cover from the fixture.You will see a small rectangular object with wires going into it.This is the ballast,usually it is apparent that the ballast has failed.Get the part # from the ballast and pick one up at your local supply house.Replace the ballast and reconnect the wires per old ballast.Also inspect the ends where the tubes connect, sometimes these get burned and do not make good contact.Hope this helps. above answer correct but i would simply replace the tube or tubes first. i have a lot of experience with about 30 of them in my laundromat.

How do you wire 120 volt 2 bulb 8 ft?

It sounds like you are talking about a two tube eight foot fluorescent fixture. Open the fixture up and you will find a ballast that has probably two yellow wires, two blue wires, two red wires and a black and white wire coming out of it. The 120 volt supply will connect to the black and white wires that protrude out of the ballast. Black ballast to black supply and white ballast to white supply.

How do you test a ballast for fluorescent fixture?

Turn off the power, remove the bulbs, and remove the cover to expose the ballast. If you see tar leaking from the ballast it is bad and must be replaced. If you see no tar then proceed. Use a multimeter to check for continuity. The yellow and blue wires are the power wires and the white wire is neutral. With the meter set to ohms check between the yellow wire and white wire at the end where it connects to the light. If you get no reading the ballast is bad. Now check the other side where power is coming in. No reading and the ballast is bad. If you get a reading at both ends it is good. Check for loose wires.

AnswerThe ballast may need replacement as this acts as a fuse in the system. You can momentarily jump the ballast to see if it will start. A ballast that keeps going out is sometimes caused by bad spark plug wires. Or secondary voltage jumping from coil tower to primary [ballast side] terminal.
